Description

Currently overlay-add always renders on top of video.
I hopes it would be under some elements (see below) to avoid position conflict.

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Allow overlay-add render under some elements(i.e. console's output / osc's elements).

Alternative behavior of the wanted feature

Research direction

Start by locating the handling for overlay-add and the rendering entry points for the console output and OSC elements. Determine which elements should be allowed above or below the overlay, then define the expected layering behavior and verify it with a video and the affected elements.
